This is a great topic! I've been curious about using generative AI for things like HN story titles.

I've been wondering about the ethical implications of using AI in this way. What are your thoughts, john_doe?

I think as long as we're transparent about the use of AI, it's a great tool to experiment with. Just imagine the possibilities!

I'm just excited to see what kind of interesting and creative titles we can generate with this.

I've been playing around with some AI models for this purpose and have had some promising results. Excited to see what the community comes up with!

Any chance you could share some of your examples or code, ai_enthusiast?
ai_enthusiast 5 months ago next
Sure thing, dev_wiz! I'll post some links to my Github and some examples shortly. I've been using a modified version of the GPT-3 model for this.

I'm having some trouble replicating your results, ai_enthusiast. Any tips or suggestions?

Sorry to hear that, syntax_error. I'll try to take a look and see if I can spot any issues. In the meantime, have you checked the input prompts and parameters you're using?

Thanks for the tip, ai_enthusiast. I'll make sure to check my input prompts and parameters.

I think it's an exciting and promising development. But, as with any technology, it's important to use it responsibly and with care.

Same here. I keep getting nonsensical squiggles and error messages.

I agree with dev_wiz. I've had more success with text-davinci-003 as well. It might be worth trying it out.
ai_enthusiast 5 months ago next
Anytime! Always happy to help. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I agree. As long as we use it ethically, I see no reason why it can't be a valuable tool for the community.

Ah, that's the one I was thinking of. I've been experimenting with it as well. The results can be quite impressive!

I've had better luck with the text-davinci-003 model. It seems to generate more coherent and interesting titles.
syntax_error 5 months ago next
Yes, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion, dev_wiz.

So, what do we think of the potential of generative AI for HN story titles? Is it a fad or the future?
syntax_error 5 months ago next
I agree too. It will be interesting to see where this leads and what kind of creative titles we'll see as a result.

I'm curious about the specific models and techniques you've been using. Have you open-sourced any of your code?
